Whispers of My Childhood

Whispers of the playground, echoes of our laughter

In the corners of my mind, I still hear it after

Do you remember running fast, we were young and free?

Chalking dreams on blackboards, you and me were meant to be

But time, it had its secrets, scattered us like leaves

Now I’m tracing shadows, where do I find your peace?

I keep looking in the rearview for a glimpse of your smile

Every step I take, I'll walk it for a mile

Oh my childhood crush, where have you flown?

In the halls of my heart, you’re forever home

I wish I could tell you, all that you meant

But the words are still waiting, in those moments we spent

With every golden sunset, I wish you could see

The colors that are bursting, just like you and me

Now the pictures fade, but my heart won't forget

In the smiles of our youth, there’s no room for regret

I keep looking in the stars, searching where you are

In every night sky, you’re my shooting star

Oh my childhood crush, where have you flown?

In the halls of my heart, you’re forever home

I wish I could tell you, all that you meant

But the words are still waiting, in those moments we spent

Years may come and go, but my wish will remain

In a world full of faces, you’re my sweetest refrain

If fate should bring you back, oh I’d take a chance

To share my heart, in a childhood romance

Oh my childhood crush, where have you flown?

In the halls of my heart, you’re forever home

I wish I could tell you, all that you meant

But the words are still waiting, in those moments we spent

So here’s to the memories, and all that they touch

Forever you’ll linger, my beautiful crush

In the story of us, it’s a chapter unmade

With echoes of laughter that never will fade
